I haven't felt such genuine emotion evoked from a book like this in a very long time.īut Ms. ![]() This one is such a keeper because of that single reason. Some stories take a little piece of your soul and change you. The beauty of it all is that you get to break along with her. Then there's Irene, who was the epitome of every girl who has ever experienced a loss and has finally found a reason to not let it define her. If anything, the plot was a little ordinary but Morgan managed to capture the essence of the Sherlock created by BBC and embody it within an eighteen year old guy, who in turn takes over the entire novel and makes you completely forget about trivial things like plot. The plot didn't even have to exist, it was that good. The characterization of this novel is flawless. I'm going to physically die and wither away into dark matter if there's no sequel. Maybe its because its 3:21am right now and I'm running on 4 hours sleep over the last 48 hours. There is nothing I can say about this book that is negative.

High school kids may not choose to read short stories on their own time, but they get very excited when the story I choose to teach a concept is short. If there is one thing that my students and I share, it’s our love for short stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pearl’s narration elevates an already-poignant story to a complex, bittersweet examination of why “girls were punished so hard for their love, so hard, hard enough to break them.” There is no escape from pain or death in this narrative-from the wolf waiting behind every door-but there is the suggestion that it’s worth the risk to open them all wide anyway. But Frankie’s tenacious grip on hope draws attention from both her fellow orphans, including a beautiful, gentle boy with whom she shares an illicit prewar romance, and Pearl, the book’s ghost narrator, whose own tragic story slowly unfurls alongside Frankie’s.
